Justice Harlan said he had no information
that any application would be made. He
was asked under what circumstances Grim
inal cases could reach the Supreme Court
Of the United States from the State
courts. He said, in reply. that he supposed
any application for writ Of error to what
ever Justice it should be made would
be under Section 709 II. S., which
provides among other thugs that "a final
judgment or decree in any suit in the high
est court OF State in which decision in
the suit could be had. where any title,
right, privilege, or immunity is claimed
under the Constitution or any statute Of
the United States, and the decision is
against the title, right. privilege, or i'm
munity specially set up or claimed by either
party under such Constitution, may be re-
examined and reversed or affirmed in the
Supreme Court Of the United States upon
writ of error" He also referred to sec :
ton ITO, which provides that cases on writ
Ut error to revise the Judgment of the
State courts in any criminal case shall have
precedence on the docket Of all oases to
which the Government is a party, except
only cases which the court may, In its dis
cretion, declare TO be OF pablic importance.
He declined to say anything further on the
subject.

The work Of the Amnesty Association Is

tions denouncing the decision of the Sn-

Association are members OF labor organiza-

should work in his organization for the
passage Of such resolutions, and stir
up his friends 70 do likewise in other
bodies. As result, resolutions of that
character are submitted at almost every
labor meeting, and in many cases the reso-
